UC Davis Host Microbe Interaction Annual Retreat

The annual UC Davis Research Retreat on Host Microbe Interaction brings together the community of UC Davis researchers interested in any aspect of the interaction of microbes with vertebrate, invertebrate or plant hosts to foster multidisciplinary work, exchanges and collaborations. The scientific program includes oral presentations from faculty, students and postdocs. The venue for this event is the Granlibakken Conference Center & Lodge, which is just minutes away from spectacular Lake Tahoe. An overnight stay at this setting ensures ample opportunity for interaction between faculty, postdocs and students during their joint meals and at the evening poster session. The 11th Annual Host Microbe Retreat will be October 19-20, 2017. If you are interested in presenting at our retreat or participating in the poster session, please contact Andreas Baumler at ajbaumler@ucdavis.edu. We will also have a HMI logo contest for our t-shirt. Logo design should be digitally produced. The logo must include host microbes (bacteria, viruses and other organisms). UC Davis staff and students are eligible to participate. If you are interested in the logo contest, please contact Karryn Doyle at kddoyle@ucdavis.edu.
